If you message Peter from his channel - "It's a Wonderful Life" he cleaned all his window furnishings, I think by baking them in the oven, not sure but ask him. They had a Chateau and were renovating it and he did an amazing job.
Another great vlog couple to watch ❤
I was just about to say the same thing 👍🏻
I’ll chime in with totally love them and their channel
@@marthaross6301 ohhh yes 👍🏻 lovely couple.. I like them very much
Absolutely! I remember watching Peter doing exactly that.
You 2 are hilarious! Love that you're not acting fake like other vloggers tend to do. Keep it up! Love your vlogs! 🤣
Thank you
That is a gorgeous burner! No matter where you end up using it, it’s going to be a beautiful feature. Great find and purchase Carole!
The property is really coming along and looks so different from when you first moved in...well done!! Others have mentioned Peter from "It's a Wonderful Life" as he had much success in cleaning the window hardware to the point it was totally stripped and looked brand new. For sure, I would get in touch with him. I can't get over the work in the fireplace.....well done Adrian!! Look forward to what's next!
Get a 70s slow cooker. They run at a higher temperature than one from today.
The old plow is a terrific piece of garden feature. I agree with your husband. The idea that it was a part of the property is a bonus. I'm hoping you will acquiesce. It would work well with the wonderful obelisks (love that you put white roses in them) flanking the stairs. Exquisite is the perfect word for the log burner. If it can't be used in the salon, hopefully it will be displayed somewhere else. Just picturing it all cleaned and treated with stove black makes me smile. Great progress all around. Love your videos.
And I love your idea. Let’s hope Carole rethinks the plough again. 😉
@ looks like it is a fireplace/plow compromise situation. Adrian gives in in the fireplace if Carol gives in in the plough!!!
@ I thought the plow could be painted to be a "dinosaur" for Zack's play area - it would be preserved but not right in Carole's eye-line?
@@lisakilmer2667 I'm glad someone else saw that (although I thought it looked like a dragon), great idea
Since you have to remove the floor anyway, could you install underfloor heating system and get rid of the radiators?
💯👍🏼
Exactly what I have been wanting to ask.
Good idea. They may want to go original, but to me their are a pain. It would be nice to get them away from the window, it ruins the lines of window to view. Just my 2 cents.
I'm not sure it would work for hardwood flooring. Wood isn't the best conductor of heat. I would think the floors would dry out and eventually cup or split. However if they were going to lay stone or cement that would work with underfloor heating.
@@mandrews1245 the original floor had sand as its base, Sand would work much the same as stone. Also the heat doesn't have to be as high if using wood. In old episodes of "This Old House" they often use underfloor heat for early houses.
I have a fire place insert just like the one you show. Bought it on Ebay. Heats my 600 square foot studio just fine but can't use bituminous coal here in Pennsylvania so I burn very small cut up wood. They were the first inserts made and could be wheeled from fireplace to fireplace. Love mine. It was made in paris and came out of an estate in Chicago.
Could one burn pellets?
Ask Ashley and Terry - they did a beautiful job on theirs!
Love the log burner such beautiful detail on it . It will be superb when cleaned up and painted and a bargain at 60euros. Be nice to have the steps tidied up to the secret garden. You two do make me laugh at your banter. Loved watching. xx
You should try soaking those window parts in Coke, you know the kind you drink lol the yard is looking fantastic! Or should I say the garden lol oh my gosh 😳 that fireplace structure would be beautiful it's very ornate I've never seen one like that well that ornate? LOVE IT! Love a good time lapse! Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
I agree with you on the log/coal burner…gorgeous!!!!❤️❤️
Try some stripper and try cooking again. Dental tools will help clean up all the details. It will be beautiful when done, just alot of man hours
@11:00 The only way to clean the hardware is glass bead blasting. Its the same as sand blasting, but uses glass powder, and its softer on the material without damaging them. Once you try it you will never go back to chemicals and sand paper.
I squealed with delight over the Godin!!!!!!!!!! OMG! So beautiful! If it can't go in the grande salon you'll find a place!
You have improved the grounds 1000% from when you bought it!! It looks great! The inside of the chateau also! Good job Adrian with dismantling the fireplace. I would think baking the hardware might remove the layers of paint, but I’m not sure. Anyway stay safe walking and working in the salon with the precarious flooring. xx
The gardens are looking amazing 🤩 I love the log burner it’s beautiful. ❤️
I am hopeless at DIY, gardening is really my thing. To wit - my I suggest that you erect a seasoned wood trellis (attached to the wall with metal hooks) for the Jasmin. This will help you control growth of the plant with annual pruning, while protecting the stone. Looks like a couple of the large mature trees could do with a good pollarding, to ensure the grass doesn't die, due to too much shade and lack of water. Just in case you you're either bored or don't have enough work to do. :-) Thanks for sharing as always, you lovely people.
Thank you John for the suggestion, any chance you are free for the summer?!
@ Is that a formal invite? I'd love to come and help in the garden, if time allows. :-)
@@johncollier608 can you cook?
@ - I can indeed, although I don't do vegan (political correctness prevents me saying why). 🤣
PG Tips what a job that fireplace !!!! The grounds look amazing 🤩 hope the weekend goes well for you and the locals enjoy all your hard work 😓. Take care 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧
I hate that you resorted to "click bait" LOL even tho I would've clicked no matter what, but my heart was like Oh, no, what burned, what's gone?? Please NOOOO!!.....only to find out your "fire destruction" was actually "firePLACE destruction" Haha! Whew! You cheeky things, you! And Adrian, whatever you're standing on, I fully expected you to fall right thru to the cellar! Be careful!
😂 I’ve made sure it’s secure enough to stand on. As I don’t have Spider-Man outfit on
I heard that the oven does better. Then you might have to wire brush. The item.
It's definitely a coal stove🙂
Adrian did a great job clearing all that ivy from the back wall. That whole area looks huge now and open. Perfect for music party on the weekend. Enjoy your day.
Thank you but the festival is being held on the main lawn
OUTSIDE spray the window fixtures with "Oven cleaner" - just a USA suggestion...we use it here to remove paint
saw a restoration chanel that placed the window furniture into a fire, and burnt the paint off..... something to consider
Once you get the paint off the window knobby bits, will you paint them gold as well? I hope your guests enjoy the concert and the pool.
How about several goats ??? or sheep ??? They would keep sections of the grounds "grass down" for you...and the look does go with a "chateau"..Many chateaus have some. just a suggestion
Just our cat Tia is plenty for us. We struggle to look after ourselves. 😂
I like the fire. Put the window furniture in a small fire it will strip the paint very quickly without damaging them. then a good wire brushing will clean them up. Enjoy the music festival. regards from the UK
Hi I’m a antique cleaner here in the USA & u can go to RUclips as well & this is I’ve found a great way to clean silver boil water a good amount to cover your pieces and add a teaspoon of salt and baking soda now put your pieces into a large enough container add your boiling water your teaspoon of salt now your backing soda it will rise and hopefully if you don’t add to much at once about a 1/2 a cup since your pieces are small do it in the sink just to be sure that way if you add too much it will just overflow in the sink. Add more baking soda if necessary if you have questions look up how to clean silver with baking soda and water with salt and the video should pop right up. Good luck!!!
I think you would miss the ambience of an open fire in the salon. The stove is gorgeous but could be used in another room.
Adrian you wanted rain, it's forecast from next Saturday to the Saturday after, mind you we do need it.
Hi Alan. I’m in the cellar/salon so makes no odds to me. 😂
Anna and Peter of the vlog, "It''s a Wonderful Life," had very good results in removing layers upon layers of old paint from window hardware. I can't tell you exactly how they did it, but they did not do it in a slow cooker in some sort of liquid. Why don't you reach out to them and ask for advice? They restored many sets of window hardware and it all looked fantastic!
I think they just put it in the fireplace
The easiest way is to put them in a bottle with paint and varnish remover and let them soak for a few hours. Give them a shake every so often and most of the paint floats off
Love your planting the 2 by the steps, the Jasmine etc Carol very nice. I think the plough is part of the Chateau history I’m with Adrian there. Maybe it can be a feature somewhere on the grounds. Also love your Wood burner the detail on it is gorgeous. I can’t wait to see those window fixtures cleaned up and the fireplace/ chimney restoration. Best of luck there 👏👍
Have you tried soaking the metal bits in coca cola?
The music festival sounds fun! Hope we get a peek at the festivities.
The fire is a great feature & will add to the room 🤗❤
Good luck with window furniture🍀🤗
Have fun at the music festival🍻💐🍻
Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Why not bake the pieces in the oven, I have seen where other chateaus have been successful removing the paint this way
👍🍀🇮🇪🇺🇦🇮🇪 I’ve seen that window furniture on another channel been put in to an open fire, and they came up lovely
Wasn't it possible to support the fireplace from below? What a work... 🙈
The entire fireplace had come away from the wall and will need to be rebuilt.
@ Aaah! Now I got it... 🙋
I love the wood burner.
I love the coal burner ! it is beautiful !! For 60 I would get as many as you can find ! For a chimney not in use it can stop a draft in winter
The garden is looking great guys! Had an idea Carole, why use the giant barrel in the basement for your monthly wine supply when you can use that pool? Haha. Cheer’s Kirk
...great job Adrian...you're a hard worker....the wife is very sarcastic...lol
Maybe look at cleaning them with paint remover paste, leave it on for a couple of hours or more covered in a plastic food wrap. If they are not wood you can afterwards use a fine steel wool for a nice polish 🥰 I used to do this when restoring some antiques. But do this only if it is some type of metal. (even better if it is brass some brasso would do wonders)
To get the paint off the window furniture I've seen other restoration channels where they put them in an oven at high temperature and it essentially burns off the paint, but you have to deal with the smell. Perhaps there's some way you can do that with better ventilation or outdoors.
Very toxic burning old paint.
@@mezanian - Most likely lead based.
The garden feature is gorgeous indeed 🥰 You can probably clean it and/or paint it and put some gorgeous plants on top😍 That will be an eyesight for sure ❤️
What a job
It will be worth it in the end when you are sitting in your beautiful salon
Love to both
Andrew 💐💜xx
Thanks Andrew. Let’s hope so…
Several of the chateau vlogs have refinished these window furnishings. I don't remember exactly how they did it but one was Terry and Ash of Escape to the Dream. They looked really nice. Love seeing all of your hard work and progress!
add fireplace to one of the bedrooms for decor. It's awesome.
Trudy. Agree, it should go in our bedroom. Adrian 😉
That Woodburn is gorgeous
You need some goats to stake out to take care of the grass! LOL
Hi Carole,
Try using paint stripper and a small wire brush on your window hardware. It will save you a lot of time and energy. I have never ever heard of anyone boiling metal in a Crock-Pot before to get the paint off. 😵
I love the fireplace insert.
On the window pieces try toilet bowl cleaner and a tooth brush. Do not let it sit too long. I used Lysol advanced. Before you give up it’s worth a try.
I love your work ethic. Keep it up while you can. I wish you good health to see the restoration through.
Come on, Carol…. Take it a little easy on Adrian!! He’s a hardworking, very pleasant man , say something nice or don’t say anything at all …
We are English, this is our humour, every one keeps having a go at me. Its unfair. If I said nothing, all you would hear is....ummm.....error...from Adrian
beautiful fire great find
OOO!!! I love what you all have done, I love everything. I am just amazed. Will continue to watch.
Thank you 😊
The window knobs are gorgeous, I would just keep them for jewlery and eye candy, I don't have windows like yours. Have a blessed week!!!
I'm so in love with your chateau and the grounds. Absolutely perfect! Love watching you restore this beautiful place. 😍
Thank you
The little stove gets my vote , it won’t heat the room but it doesn’t have too , and it will add so much atmosphere with a small fire flickering .
12:22 " because your a 'man' .." ....you might want to pull your head in sister ..... in this time of BS coming out of the mouths of women all around the world .... do unto others .....is the RULE
My heart!!! Jeez - did you see how many times Adrian was right at the very edge of the 4x8 sheet when he was taking down the mantle??? YIKES! Check out at 14:14!
Nitric acid will do the trick on cleaning the window latches. The small burner will work with small wood quite nicely! Rainy day heating.....
Oh my ur coal burner looks very old Carole. I think u did very good on ur deal 60€ I think if u paint it GOLD it will be stunning in ur 💛Gold Salon💛
If you have a place that does sandblasting and powder coating you could bring these metal parts there. You should check in your community if they have social workplaces for handicapped people, here they do this kind of work and it isn't very expensive and professionally done.
Yes message Peter from "It's a wonderful life". They used to own chateau de la Croix hornet. He baked the Window furniture and it was amazing how clean it turned out. Maybe he can forward you the video. They looked brand new when he was done.
Love the crystal pieces in the background humm, they look like they would be very nice pieces,
“It’s a Wonderful Life” put it inside the log burner if I remember correctly. Whatever process it was he didn’t do any work stripping them at all and they always came out perfect, ready to be primed and painted.
Love your channel ❤️❤️
Thank you Susan
Coming along nicely going to be beautiful when the lovely work is finished ❤❤ great you two 🤗🤗
Don't get rid of the stinging nettle!! It is a natural pain killer. Look it up, and try it. One of the best garden weeds to have around your house. Just a little info! I enjoy watching your videos!
Did u know u can eat stinging nettles, very good for u. Do u know anyone who keeps goats, they love brambles.
Your coal burning fireplace insert is awesome. €60. Amazing!
all hardware should go in the hot fire - outside best to avoid any fumes -all paint will burn right off minimal scraping for original patina.
And for heavens sake get a zero turn mower with a wide mower deck - check out TORO commercial lines - sell the little toy one you use - it`s ridiculously slow - lol
check out "softwash" on youtube for all your roofs and stone walls - so much better and faster results than any powerwasher
did you use Tri Sodium Phosphate to boil the paint off? We have had great success on brass hinges using that method. Love your channel.
Hey there! Not sure if youve tried this method of removing paint off hardware! This video is from Resturation Nation and the video is called How to restrore Antique Hardware. Heres the link: ruclips.net/video/eGkj8iIe7Bg/видео.html
In the South (US), plows and other implements are featured around and referred to as “yard art”. True. Hahaha!
I don't think your recent find is a fireplace at all. It may have been used for heating, but with alternative tesla/scalar type electric energy. Hence the wheels to move it around.
The art nouveau cast iron stove is a gem. Some of them are part brass. I think it will make a beautiful feature. Should clean up beautifully.
I think this will be awsome!
I understand that he want to be able to hawe an open fire in the great hall i would love that too, but that logburner was very beautiful so i fully agree with that it shall hawe a prominent place in one magnificent room.
I think that old plow thing will look great somewhere once it's cleaned up a bit, You can put flowerbaskets and claypots with herbs or strawberries on it if it stays in the garden, that's what i had done with it!
Those post WW1 builds are usualy pretty s***y and hastly made and with inferior materials since people had to use what they could got their hands on and they wanted to hawe somewhere to live and use, and firewood was regulated and expensive during the war so it make sense people did change those beautiful old fireplaces into the new style with what they had.
I see no shame in tearing down all that trash and restore things back to what they where originaly ment to be, i think that's what people wanted after the war but could not afford it then it stayed that way because of that 1930-40s new fasion i guess. This will be realy beatuiful whan tho old marble come to life again!
I honestly thought after 39 years of marriage I was the only woman that said to my husband, “you don’t think ahead “! This made me feel so good.
That Godin is an incredible find! If you don't use it in the southfacing salon bc you'd rather have an open fire tgen do use it anywhere you need additional heat, beautiful! Put if up for auction on auctionnet should you not agree on using it at all, you'll probably make a handsome profit!
Pretty sure that burner is for coal, so unsuitable for wood.
unfortunately. Definitely put it somewhere else for looks as it is lovely.
Hope the festival went well. Gosh what a big job the Salon is becoming. Poor Carol
regarding the hardware, try regular cocacola, leaving it submerged. or try white vinegar and leaving it overnight in an old crockpot
Maybe a wire brush attachment on a drill would shift the paint on the door furniture? If you mounted them in a vice?
The woodburner is fantastik! I want one to the fireplace room of the sauna
First time seeing your château. Would the antique portable heater be useful on a cool day out on a stone terrace? Otherwise tuck it indoors to prevent rust.
A length of plastic drain pipe, rone pipe closed at each end and some 'Cristaux de soude' ( washing soda in english ) and it will all come off. For rust it's best to go with hot vinegar, beware of the fumes ! I recently dunked some old secateurs in vinegar and they came out as new !
to clean the window ironmongery you need to sand blast them in a cabinet they will come out like new and it will be very quick you can pick one up for about £500
have you tried soaking pieces in caustic soda? i have found that works really well
The plough serves no purpose I’d sell it itl just rot further cleaned up painted to much hassle and energy you don’t need wasting on garden old equipment your never going to use
For your window features maybe try sandblasting or high pressure washer
Hi there try putting your window irons in the fire 🔥 and burn the paint off. Another chateau used to pop them in the wood burner and wire brush after....
Peter from chateau le croc ooops he put all his window and door metal fitments in his log burner and they came out like new.
It's called FRAGRANCE !! not aroma !!!
Don't use coal burner in main room as I can see that it not going to be easy to fit good size firewood and it doesn't look like it hold door seals to prevent smoke and sparks getting into the room. Maybe you should go to a logburner specialists for something that is new, safe and easy to use just for that room only
Have you checked if the paint on the window fittings has lead? Need to use protection.
Use a micro sand blaster for those metal window parts…look on a dental surplus website for one!
blow torch and a couple shaped wire brush on a drill should take it off, i personally put mine in an actual fire, but if you want to be careful a blow torch, if its cast iron you can safely put it in an actual fire in the coals and the paint will just burn off, dont add any extra like powered air, but a normal little fire
